Steps

Name: Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients: 100 GRAM fettuccine; 25 GRAM parmigiano reggiano; 25 GRAM unsalted butter

Step 1

cook pasta in salted water until al dente but keep the starchy pasta water Tip: you’ll be adding some pasta water to emulsify the sauce so avoid making the water too salty especially since parm is salty as well.

Step 2

Add butter along with the pasta and toss to melt the butter

Step 3

Add the parm to the pasta and toss, adding a little reserved pasta water at a time, to create a creamy sauce. Continue tossing until the cheese is melted and the sauce coats the pasta evenly.

Step 4

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with more grated cheese if desired.
